Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Covers faintly marked. Reprint (biography first published by Methuen, 1956); from the library of the author's literary executor, Sir Michael Holroyd. Pearson's first career was on the stage, under Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, half-brother of Max Beerbohm. "Project your being into the part you are playing," Tree told young actors, "so that you unconsciously become the man without study." Pearson applied a similar method to writing his biographies. He devotes a chapter to his personal memories of his employer. "At the age of eighteen I saw Tree in [Stephen Phillips's] Nero. He opened the gate of art to me, and in doing so became my first living hero." Pearson gives a verbatim account of a mystifying late-night monologue by Sir Herbert in a London taxi.
